Small plug-in solar panels gain traction as an affordable way to cut electricity bills
For years, solar power at home was mostly limited to people who owned their rooftops and could afford the steep upfront costs. But now, a new generation of small, affordable systems — often called “plug-in” solar — are making clean energy more accessible. Already widespread in Germany, the movement is gaining momentum in the United States. Laura Klivans of PBS member station KQED reports.

Foray into "beans" part 5 was a grain. A barley salad that turned out fantastically as good as advertised in the recipe.
I used barley instead of farro, and perilla oil instead of olive oil. The combination of sour from the vinegar with toasted cumin and […]

99% beep rate in support of today's health worker strike at the hospital. Woot!
Bonus: it was right next to the bus stop, and I arrived and left in under an hour, so bus was a free "transfer." Double woot. :)

Found a couple deep dents in my bike lock yesterday.

My bike has only been parked in two places in the past year - in front of my house, or at work in the bike park behind the "staff only" gate.
While it's not impossible that someone at work is trying to […]

Slowly working my way through an assessment for an online course. It has five "tasks" in it. Each task is 4-6 questions. Each question has multiple sub-questions, and each answer is essay.
This is almost like submitting an academic paper to a peer reviewed journal.

It's a light blue ball cap with three cartoon fish on the front, and the words "Life is good." It was a gift from my sister.
If anyone in the Nelson area sees it somewhere, I'd like it back. :(
